Theism and evolution

Davis D. Danizier (
Sept. 9
) obviously lacks a good sense of humor in that the letter he refers to (Aug. 30) was written with tongue in cheek. However, he accused me of serious errors in my letter, so I must extend this debate.

Nowhere in my letter did I mention religion. I was comparing theism with atheism. Science and theism go together hand in hand. Can science explain the condition of the universe before the big bang? Theism can; it postulates the big bang was an event orchestrated by our creator. There is no conflict between theism and evolution. Our creator established the laws of physics, which allowed the chemical reactions to be at hand when life began.

Can atheists explain exactly how life is different from just a mixture of those chemicals? Of course they can't. Can atheists explain how a combination of chemicals shaped like a human can walk, talk, think, display emotions and enable a conscience which determines right from wrong? Theism can: It's called a soul.

Those narcissistic atheists may think they can win their debate with the world religions by calling their beliefs myths, but it is 100 percent impossible for atheists to disprove nonreligious theism.
